Pros

Pay is good. I still work with some good people who haven't been outsourced yet. I really can't think of anything else

Cons

They started with a 50/50 mix of onsite and offshored workers, now they are moving to 30% onsite and 70% offshore. They have become a 100% process oriented company. The work being done is not nearly as important as whether or not the proper procedures are being followed. Always have to worry about whether you're going to be laid off due to offshoring.

Great Internship

Professional services intern

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The internship gets you great hands-on work experience and really helps when looking for jobs in the future. There is no better name in the market research industry than Nielsen, and employers definitely know that!

Cons

The only con I would have to say is in the internship, the opportunity for client facing is definitely less than I would expect at most other client consulting companies.
